Your personal guide to a fitter you

Whether you’re new to exercise or want to add another dimension to your existing routine, I am here to help you achieve your goals, whatever your age or current level of fitness.

Getting to know you

Everyone’s body is different. That’s why I work closely with all my clients so that everyone can get the best from their body.

Getting to know me

I teach every Pilates class personally so that I can make sure you will get a similar level of personal attention as you would in a one to one class, but at a fraction of the cost.

See yourself improve

It really matters to me that you can see and feel the benefits of my classes, so I will, over time, encourage you to push yourself slightly harder to keep the benefits coming as your body improves.

A class for everyone

In addition to my Pilates classes, I have created a series of ballet barre classes called Pop to the Barre which focus on calorie burning and boosting your metabolic rate for weight loss, toning and cardio strength. Dance conditioning is a great way to improve cardio fitness, and I find lots of my clients now do a bit of both!

In the meantime please connect with me on Twitter and Facebook to get regular updates, lots of fascinating advice and information on pilates fitness, lifestyle, fashion and all the good stuff that goes with being healthy and happy!

We’re two weeks into the New year so life should be settling back down into routine, and ( I hope) you now have time to think about your health and wellbeing. Making changes to one’s health and wellbeing can seem daunting if it has been a while, or indeed if you feel you’ve tried everything and it’s just not working and that’s where I come in. I want to help you be THE BEST YOU CAN BE so join me and let’s take this journey together.

Ballet for most little girls is a rite of passage. You want to wear pink, dress up in a tutu and float around to music. When you are a child there are no inhibitions, no self consciousness about what you are wearing, you are just in the moment enjoying what you are doing. So where does all that go when you grow up?

This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to changing old habits and getting fitter and healthier. Inevitably, post the Christmas excesses I see an influx of new clients eager to lose weight, shape up and get fit for the New Year, and equally within 6-10 weeks many of them will have slipped back into old habits; missing classes or sessions because of work, children, not feeling well and generally feeling they don't have the time needed to do it. Why does this happen year on year I wonder? I think it's because we set our expectations way too high and when we don't reach those impossible heights, we simply give up.

As the nights draw in and the temperature begins to drop, colds become more common. However, there are ways to not only make coming down with a cold less common, but also to shave a few days off the cold itself once it arrives. Read on to find out more!
